Where my Sayulita blog post was a bit of a guide, this Puerto Vallarta post is a bit more limited to pictures. I was only in Puerto Vallarta for two days and two nights. I would have loved to have had more time here! The most memorable parts about my stay in Puerto Vallarta were […]
If you’ve never been on a whale watching cruise, add it to your bucket list. If you are like me and get sea sick, make sure to pop a Dramamine before boarding your boat! Whale watching season is during the Winter in Mexico. Prime time is between December and March. You might get lucky and […]
Here’s everything you need to know about shopping and restaurants in Sayulita and Puerto Vallarta! I don’t know how different the restaurants, shops, and vendors are in other areas of Mexico, but I imagine you’ll see a lot of the same product options. In the areas I visited, most shops and vendors only accepted pesos. […]
Every one of the beaches we visited in the Banderas Bay and those beaches near Sayulita were nothing short of perfection.

The last two nights were […]
Needing passport photos in Manhattan, KS? Read on for everything you need to know! Back in 2022, I finally got myself a new passport, way too many years after my last one had expired. Sadly, the only thing I’ve gotten to use it on so far is a jaunt across the bridge into Canada to […]
After focusing on street photography during my trip to Washington DC and Baltimore in June, I began questioning the ethics of sharing those photos of people without permission. I decided to focus on taking street portraits with my subject’s enthusiastic consent. Not only did it not feel right sharing pictures of strangers without their permission, […]
You’re planning a trip to a big city and want to know what equipment to bring to try your hand at street photography. I did my research leading up to a trip to Washington DC and Baltimore this past June. I’m very happy with the equipment I decided on, and I brought the same set […]
